Hey Tonya,
I'm sorry I have been so late in answering your post.
I am too darn busy right now for my own good!
No, the dog does not chase the other dogs or the cats.
Her ears kind of perk up when she sees the cats run
by, but that's it. She's VERY docile, but does play
with our other puppy,
experience with pits.

Don't be so sure wendy. Everyone I showed pics of the dog I found said 'pit', but then the vet and pit rescue said he was NOT a pit. Does this dog act aggressive toward your other dogs? Does he chase the cats?twendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: P.S. We are absolutely sure she's a Pit Bull.
I can't take the test either. The dog I found my family, and people on my rescue list all thought was a pit. But he was friendly as all get out, got along with the dogs, and didn't chase my cats (though I've kept him on a leash with them, because they stalk him!)There's a guy on my list who
I got the pit rescue guy to come assess my dog. He did a temperment test and told me he didn't think I needed to worry at all. Just to train the dog (because he IS very strong and a chewer) and introduce him to the cats very slowly and on a leash. He is already getting along with my other dogs.
But this is a problem with one dog. It could happen with any dog. It's not a 'typical' problem. t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We ran every test known to man.I tried drugs specialists everything then the vet said one day she may hop the fence and eat someone's child in a rage that got to
Hard to tell that to my foster , Jodi who's own pit caused 26 staples in
her head and a very large chunk missing from her right leg.
I don't hate the breed but I sincerely believe that the owners and dogs
need special training.
If you don't have excellent knowledge of the breed, and give it

I was raised with Dobes and don't believe there is much difference in the

Rotties need to be raised with care and respect, but I feel more
comfortable around one I've just met because, (at least for me), they
are easier to read than Dobbies. Their facial expressions and body

indication of their

Be aware. buy a good book on positive training like clicker training or whatever. But pits are one of the most loving and loyal breeds there are. ANY dog can develop sudden rage. It's just that a pit can cause more damage than a chihuaha that goes ballistic. The 2 friendliest, easy going, child
Hey Nina,
I sent emails to the only two pit bull shelters in
Texas. The first person I heard back from today.
He's booked, but he's in Kingsville, which is like 8
hours from Dallas, so that's ok. He was very nice.
The other person is in Gun Barrell City, not too far
from here, and I am hoping

Your in Texas? where at I can recommend some reliable person in lewisville
who can temperament test her for you. I am not sure what she charges but she
gave me a great deal of very frank advice when I had my pit. She will not sugar

Wendy,
Get me an age and some pics if possible and her story and I will send it to

Well I have been doing dog and until recently pit rescue for 20 some
years.
I am afraid I do not agree. I had a pit from weaning till 4 1/2 years and
she "turned" or developed sudden rage. A beloved indoor family fully vetted dog
became a killer in 6 months.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for your input and for sharing your
experiences. I will keep this in mind as I do my
research on this dog. It's hard to imagine her going
ballistic; she is so incredibly sweet. And while I
know that not all Pit Bulls who are family dogs will
have sudden rage syndrome, it's
Hi Wendy,
I'm glad your rescue girl is in out of danger and sleeping soundly. I
do wonder about her puppies though. Life can be so tough sometimes.
Unfortunately I have to second Karen's input on Pits. (Congratulations

Hey Nina,
Thanks so much for your input. As always, I value it
greatly. I am researching right now on the net, and
the more I read, I think it's inevitable that we get
her placed in a pit bull rescue asap. Considering
that we have two other dogs, and that we are not
trained to take care of a

Me neither, but I'd seen it before, and failed it... so that's why I posted
it, because I know it's really hard to tell a pit "for sure".

P.S. We are absolutely sure she's a Pit Bull. She

Not that I think you would, but please don't bring her to a regular kill

Well to me they are foreign or "designer" names for pitbulls.
I am familiar with most of them but still cant tell the

I agree with Nina if you can have her professionally evaluated that would
help a great deal.
But even vets cant predict who will get sudden rage and who wont. I knew
Judas all my life she loved other animals and at 4 1/2 years became dangerous
even to me. Judas was never ever hit or abused.
How awful that your beloved girl became unpredictably dangerous. I'm so
very sorry. That must have been so difficult to deal with. So sad.
